Ok, Now its Jan 8, 2012. Are you still singing this same tune? Those mean old republicans blocking legislation to increase the debt ceilin and keep us from further inflatiing th U.S. Dollar? Those republican bastards! Lol. Our dollar is so inflated now that it costs me 3 dollars for a loaf of bread. I filled up one grocery bag of produce for 40 dollars. There wont be an America left to bicker over if this big spending con artist Mitt Romney gets in office. Ron Paul 2012-Or say goodbye America.
@aurelius903 So you agree that corporations are people? and that Super-pacs should not have to report who is providing their funding, even if it's a foreign power with their own agenda? You believe that the government should be able to monitor your personal phone, email, texts, and twitters without warrant or cause? The taxing the top 1% equivalent to your taxes will stop job growth (since they are not paying those taxes now, where are all those jobs?). Continued ...
@aurelius903 You believe that clean air and water is less important that corporate profits? Do away with the minimum wage? That you should have to buy your own unregulated, private, health care? That there should be no public schools? "More oil at any cost" should be our national mantra? Your social security account should be turned over to Wall street? Everything I have head from the Republican side costs me money or my rights to the benefit of corporations.
If you follow the pattern backwards in time, you will find that both parties have played the same game. Richard Nixon tried to get public healthcare started and was blocked by none other that Ted Kennedy. (Later Kennedy lamented the partisanship politics that blocked that effort). Partisan politics has always been a roadblock to progress. Its the consequences of the politics now that are more far reaching than anything in the last 100 years.
I really agree..nothing is good enough for republican.. this is a revolt. I thought all people wanted health care...so they turn Obama care into Obama nightmare..you don want pay Obama Care dont pay it you dont have to...This is not about Obama it is about us..People are crazy , especially conservative, Republicans tea party..
@wogsland I hear the secssion war cry from time to time, but think about what it would really mean. Look at the cost that the new little country would have to shoulder. Look how countries in Europe are floundering in the global markets. It doesn't work, not even on paper, so it's propaganda... small governemt promisses, until the bridges start to fail or the sewers cave in.
@Elaina43 it will take me days to recover from the shock, I don't know how long it may take the country. I've been wrong before, but I'll have to really be summarily wrong to make all this work out so that I have so much as a pension left. In just a few years you may very well see the government of the "Robocop" films financed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. It's the selling of the U.S. Government.
@dogmasotherside I do not understand how people who were so inspired and full of hope seeking change and voting in record numbers could abandon the process so quickly. Damn the demands of an immediate gratification culture. See huffingtonpost (dot) com/mark-morford/letter-to-a-whiny-young-d_b_778254.html for a quick, biting read.
those in the front lines have ideals, but make no mistake, at the top it's all about money. Every time I hear the call to stop "big government", it's immediately followed by the word "deregulation." Open the National parks to mining, oil, and logging. Allow the return of big black smoke stacks. And it’s only a little toxin in those lakes and rivers. Besides fish look better with three eyes, don't you think?
@MagicKirin the ratio is not even close anymore. After Democrats lost control of the Senate in 2001, they set a record with 34 filibuster attempts. Republicans outdid them in the last session of Congress with 61 filibusters. In the current Congress, Senate Republicans are already at 53 with five months left to go.
Isn't it funny how the teabaggers lie about EVERYTHING? Well, not funny, actually. But they haven't told the truth about a single item on their wicked little agenda.
Vote against them in November, take a friend to the polls with you!
@klingoncelt It didn't start out that way. At first it was, "They think federal spending, deficits and taxes are too high, and they think no one in Washington is listening to them." At the time they were neither Republican nor Democrat, just angry people. It may very well be, as often happens with these kinds of movements, that those people are not even part of this anymore. Someone else sees the spotlight that was captured and moves into it, reshaping it to their own goals.
@dogmasotherside - That was my understanding of it, at the very beginning. But they were taken over by the most corrupt elements of society and are now a dangerous bunch of puppets owned by Big Business. It's sad, but the truth is, what it is now can't be voted into office.
Although Mitt Romney is celebrating his 25% "squeaker" victory in Iowa, it still means that 75% of Iowans voted against him.
This just gets interestinger and interestinger.
Be Well.

@dogmasotherside Keep it simple. Vote for Ron Paul 2012. Then you will actually get solutions for all the problems you are chirping about.

86.4 billion? Oh the things I could do with that money. Amazing what a little greed will do to the old piggy bank.
It amazes me how people can change history in their mind in order to further their ideals.
